The Valley is the second studio album by Australian recording artist Betty Who, released on 24 March 2017 by RCA Records. The album is preceded by the singles "I Love You Always Forever", "Human Touch", "Some Kinda Wonderful", and "Mama Say".
On 3 June 2016, Who released a cover of Donna Lewis' hit 1996 single "I Love You Always Forever", produced by her frequent collaborator and former schoolmate Peter Thomas. Who's cover was recorded after being encouraged by a record label executive, mentioned in conversation after rediscovering the original version a few years prior. When asked as if this was the first offering from her upcoming second studio album, she commented "I was desperate to put out new music and it is really a kind of exhausting and sometimes impossibly-busy process to try and get a song out into the world. ‘I Love You Always Forever’ was sort of like a peace offering...", implying that it was a release independent from the album. However, this proved false when the album's track listing was made available and the song was included. The song charted within the top ten of the ARIA Charts, and peaked at number one on the Australian RadioCheck chart and the Billboard US Dance Club Songs chart.
In November 2016, Who released the album's proper first single, "Human Touch", and for the next several months, teased the album's release in several interviews with different media outlets. In a December interview with Billboard magazine, she revealed the album featured production from new collaborators like Australian songwriter Robopop, American duo Pop & Oak, and Mstr Rogers, among others. A month later, on 30 January 2017, the album's official title, The Valley, was announced in conjunction with the album's supporting tour, the Party in the Valley Tour. The album and the tour were also announced alongside the album's second single, "Some Kinda Wonderful", the video for which she was seen shooting in the days preceding the announcement.
